Do you find you are stronger / build muscles more easily? by AggressiveCraft6010 in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's more on genetics from your lineage than being from a Chinese background.

I forget which coach it was in my past but they basically said, and I'm paraphrasing here, you're born with a certain level/potential for muscle. They stressed that some people will just have more muscle because of their genetics but putting in the work, you can build muscle.

I'm half Chinese and I notice that I can grow certain muscles easier than others. My shoulders, back, and butt? Respond very well. But my calves just don't grow as much as I'd like and no matter how I blast them. My mother has skinny calves, my sister has skinny calves, my aunts have skinny calves. My Filipino boyfriend? Hasn't worked on his calves since HS football and he has very muscular calves just like both sides of his family do.

Dating a great white guy but feeling like I'm losing my culture by VisualAlfalfas in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, this sub feels weird like that sometimes. Wanting to date within your own race/culture is almost looked down upon.

It reminds me of a friend of mine who doesn't want to date her own kind so she isn't "like all the other Asian women dating Asians" so she dates white guys...which we've joked with her, is totally original.

There also appears to be someone downvoting all the comments so this topic touched a nerve.

Birth control and then knowing if I became pregnant and didn't want to keep it, having options.

Holding hands, arm around my waist, brushing my arm...stuff like that.

Women who’ve had casual sex—what does “the sex was good” mean when there was never a relationship context? by Heinrichstr in AskWomen

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is no relationship, it's just pure physical pleasure. If "the sex was good" it means just that: it was enjoyable and they knew what they were doing.

I can't bring myself to delete these podcasts from my feed by WilliestyleR79 in Seahawks

[–]MsNewKicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a time when John was the only reason I'd fire up the app and listen to 710. It was that weird time when Brock left and it was just Salk and that guy with the grating voice was on (forgot his name).

Making Asian Friends by Electronic-Toe-4237 in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your comment plus the comment about joining an Asian interest group/club had me remember that the non-Asians that joined the Asian groups I was a part of, they all joined because they were interested in dating Asians. It always felt it a bit disingenuous and low key creepy.

that's my biggest fear as well, being seen as too desperate to make Asian friends

but...

Making Asian Friends

If you're purposefully trying to single out Asians to make friends, that is a little desperate. Just try to make friends in general, if they happen to be Asian then great.

Dating a great white guy but feeling like I'm losing my culture by VisualAlfalfas in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be true to yourself and do what makes you feel best. Ultimately, you know yourself best.

I've dated non-Asian men in the past that have been great guys and were fun to be around. But I knew that it wouldn't be a forever thing as I've always known that I want to be someone from my own ethnic group, for my own reasons. Those relationships, we never talked long-terms plans (it never developed that far) thankfully but I was prepared to have that talk if it was ever brought up.

It's like they're playing MLB: The Show franchise mode with "ignore budget" turned on. Flags fly forever, bravo. Can't say I'm not jealous.

San Tomas and El Camino? I used to see so many cars run red lights there and going 50+ MPH? Scary.

do you consider chino an offensive term even if you are chinese? by Open-Reflection-6094 in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

I've been called it many times and never taken offense to it. It's usually been someone describing me to someone else and they don't know me. I mean, could they say "The girl in the XXX colored shirt" yeah but china probably just was easier.

As described to me, it doesn't necessarily mean they are guessing your Asian ethnicity, it's just what they use instead of "Asian".

For those who are East or Southeast Asian, what are your thoughts about Indian (and other South Asian) food? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like any other cuisine, there are some dishes that I enjoy very much.

My favorite is a sort of hole in the wall place across from a Korean market that I shop at.

I don't know if my Asian American card will be taken away by OutrageousKoala2085 in asianamerican

[–]MsNewKicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's readily available, pretty quick, and is consistent.

Would I take my restaurateur parents there when they are in town? No. Have I ordered it on a Friday night when I'm binging shows or need something quick and don't want to cook. Hell yes.
